Inspiration
Most language learning apps don't support active learning. They teach phrases using algorithms that prioritize memorization, using flashcards and scripted phrases.
What it does
Locus uses location from Google Maps API to accurately detect the user's location and OpenAI and Anthropic API to return three recommended phrases and one fun fact of the user's location.
How we built it
Through a React framework, fast API, and Google Maps/OpenAI/Anthropic APIs
Challenges we ran into
We ran into various challenges, from API keys, merge conflicts, to synchronizing cohesive environments across different devices (ie: mobile, desktop).
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Deploying a working application that works on mobile devices within 48 hours!
What we learned
This was many of our first times using and integrating APIs, as well as creating/deploying an application
What's next for Locus
Expanding to all different types of mobile technologies, and adding caching/backend to support a larger user base without crashing
